FRESHLY BAKED BREAD
Preheat the oven to 220°C. Lightly grease and flour a cake or loaf tin. In a large bowl, combine the flour mix, and a pinch of salt. Add the buttermilk, the grated cheese, and the chopped spring onion (to taste). Mix until it forms a sticky dough. (Mix until just combined - don’t overmix!) Add an extra splash of water if the dough is not coming together. Place on a floured surface and shape into a round ball big enough for the greased tin. (You don’t need to knead the dough!) Place into the greased tin and cut a deep cross in the top of the dough with a sharp knife. Pop in the hot oven and bake until browned and cooked through, 25-30 minutes. Allow to cool before slicing.
O-YUM OSTRICH
Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the ostrich dry with paper towel. When hot, sear the ostrich until browned, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan. Season and set aside.
TOASTED SEEDS
Place the mixed seeds in a pot over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
ADD SOME VEGGIES
Roughly chop the halved leeks. Return the pot to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil or a knob of butter (optional). When hot, fry the chopped leeks, and the diced carrots until soft, 2-3 minutes (shifting frequently). Add the chopped peppers and fry until lightly charred, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally).
THYME FOR THE WINE
In the final minute, add the picked thyme, the tomato paste, the wine and fry until the wine has evaporated and fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add 100ml of water and simmer until slightly thickening, 6-8 minutes. Add a sweetener and seasoning. In the final minute, add the fried meat and remove from the heat.
SHEW, WHAT A STEW!
Bowl up the ostrich stew and garnish with the toasted seeds. Serve with the sliced cheesy onion bread on the side. Enjoy, Chef.
